🚨 The American Dream comes at a cost—and for migrants at the U.S. southern border, that cost is rising. Over 890 migrant deaths were recorded in the 2022 fiscal year alone, marking a heartbreaking 58% spike from 2021, according to U.S. authorities.
💔 Tragedies like the San Antonio trailer incident (53 lives lost) and California boat capsizing (8 deaths) reveal a dark reality behind headlines. CGTN spoke with Alvin Sevilla, a Nicaraguan survivor of human smuggling, whose story mirrors these horrors. \"They promised us safety,\" he recalls, \"but all I saw was suffering.\"
🔍 Sevilla’s journey included detention center abuses and threats from traffickers—a stark reminder of systemic failures. As debates over immigration policies rage, survivors like him urge the world: \"Listen to our voices before more lives vanish.\"
